Especially during the pandemic, where we spend more and more time at home, it’s normal to feel the urge to transform the environment and renew the decor. But, unfortunately, we don’t always have enough purchasing power to change furniture or paint the entire house alone.
Therefore, today we bring you 11 tips for decorating while spending little or nothing.
1. Plan
Planning is the first step to redecorating your home on a budget. After all, when you put everything at the tip of a pencil it becomes more difficult for unforeseen events to happen during the procedure. To do this, analyze the environment and write exactly what you want to transform.
This tip is valid for renovating the entire house as well as for a single room. Furthermore, planning allows you to list all the materials that will be used and you can analyze the viability of the project according to what you have at home and/or what you can buy.
2. Use wallpaper
An easy and cheap solution to change the decor of your living room, bedroom, and even the kitchen, is to change the color of the walls. But, did you know that you don’t always need to use paint? Wallpaper has arrived to revolutionize the world of decoration.
The easy application means that you can put it on yourself and, as soon as you get tired of it, just exchange it for a new model.
Furthermore, it is sold per square meter. As a result, you only spend on the measure necessary to cover the desired wall.
But be careful, it’s worth buying a few extra meters in case there is something unforeseen with any of the sheets.
You can even make a geometric wall. They are easy to make and are super strong. See step by step in Geometric wall decoration: learn how to make +25 photos to inspire!

8. To decorate on a budget, swap prints
Adding details through small decorative items makes a huge difference in decorating a room. As a result, before thinking about buying new furniture or even going to the trouble of changing rooms, try changing prints.
Want examples? The pillows or your own duvet will take on a new look with a different print. As a result, they will be more pleasant and less sickening.
Additionally, there are a number of pillow and duvet covers that are double-sided. This way, whenever you get bored with one print, just turn the accessory upside down and contemplate a new design and a new style.
